The Design

“Learn the fundamentals of what makes a knitted skirt work.”

This is the first skirt Carol Lansinger designed for us. It's a favorite in her classes and amongst our staff. We like to wear it casually with legging and boots, or dress it up a bit. We show a sporty 16" length and a suit-ier 19" length but you can make it any length you like.
